Marte pushes a bit over .300 with a shot up the middle.

[roger_that]

Pete goes fishing for a curve for out #2

[G-Fafif]

[roger_that]

Vogelback pops out to short center for out #3, leaving Marte on second and Lindor on first.

[roger_that]

Bassitt can't find the plate. 3-0, Fish.

More than four innings worth of pitches for Alcantara yet just one ... now two, outs in the 3rd

[Edgy MD]

Vogelbach is this close to setting a Mets record between the shortest time from joining the team to getting his own bobblehead.

Keith retroactively taking some blame for Howard Johnson's throwing errors.

His'll be a bobble-belly doll.

[Edgy MD]

I hope not.



Umpire is squeezing both starters this evening.

[Frayed Knot]

Bassitt isnt wild wild tonight, but he's both

- just missing and not getting the calls

- just nipping the corners ... and not getting the calls (neither is Alcantara)

[Edgy MD]

I WANT TO MARTE ON YOUR BODY, BABY!

6 hits vs Alcantara, 5 for XBs

[Edgy MD]

And Marte is a dubble short of cycling on the presumed Cy Young winner.

MLB Hitter Coming Up with a Runner on Third and Less Than Two Outs:



"I just need decent contact. A deepish grounder or a deepish fly scores the run."



/*notice its Vogelbach at third



"But I should probably try to get a hit."

[Edgy MD]

Getting Alcantara out of the game after five with the score tied has to be something of a nice step toward winning.

[Edgy MD]

Let's get Bassitt a lead.

He moves pretty fast for a guy that size.

[Edgy MD]

I'm again tempted to pinch-run for him, but then I remember that we just DFA'd our pinch-running guy.

[Edgy MD]

These sliders in on McNeil. He really wants to get back into pull mode.

That's because guys his size are usually inert.

[Edgy MD]

Safe.

[Frayed Knot]

No way should this call be flipped.
